THE Church organ proper, with its
habitual senility, wonders how it is "that
under such President as Mr.. Cleveland,
the Land Office continues to have such
Commissioner as Mr.. Sparks" Every
one but the Church organ proper, knows
why Mr.. Sparks continues to be Land
Commissioner under Mr.. Cleveland's
Administration, and the answer is found
in the few weighty words, ''He is incor-
ruptible." The administration of the
affairs of his department by Commits
sioner Sparks will always be landmark

The 1yidow,s Dinner.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
NEW YORK, May 14-One of the most unique
entertainments ever given in New York was a
dinner of twenty covers that took place few
evenings ago at a well-knowu establishment.
The hostess, who is a widow. is said to be the
richest woman in her own right to be found in
this city, now that Miss Wolfe is dead, and GER
tainly her feast was fit to set before king The
table was superbly dressed with Jacqueminot
roses that, in addition to the immense center
piece were laid in loose bouquets from end
OF the festive board to the other. The glass was
of Bohemian ware, exquistely decorated, and
one service of plates had it's Sevres border in
laid with turuuoises. The menu and wines left
nothing TO be desired. But wholly novel SEN
sation introduced when, at the conclusion of
the repast, a magnificent chorus of male voices
fioated in to the accompaniment of number of
mandolius. The hostess led her guests into
the adjoining room. where the musicians were
stationed After listening to the sweet sounds
for a while the company was invited to return
for a moment TO the dinning room. Here a still
greater surprise awaited them, for the long able

ten little boys arrayed in the garb of cupids,
sheir charming figures gracefully posed and the
ehubby hands of each miniature god holding a
bunch of roses and a tiny silken casket like a
iewei box. These favors were presented to the
ten ladies. The boxes contained severally PIN
bag Of embossed silver of the kind now SO much
in use on fashionable dressing-tables. There
have been original dinners given in the metrop-
oils this season. but it is safe TO say that this
one surpassed its predecessors. The entertain

Africans in Boston.


The ungracious remark of a young lady who
saw the Hawaiian royal party at Music Hall
last evening, that there are lots of nicer-look-
ing colored people IN Boston than they are" is
not TO be construed by the distinguished visitors
as uncompiimentary. There are no people of
more elegant and distinguished appearance than
some of the co!ored people of Boston, and the
crowned heads of Europe, to say nothing OF the
South sea islands, might well sigh for the eyes
of Mars and the front OF Jove, the majestic
poise and movement of the body, and the regal
air brooding over the whole personality, that
of African descent. 1t is no diseredit therefore,
TO Hawain royalty that it should fall short, in
quick and discerning feminine eyes, of the
standard of majesty which has been ably set

The Use of Slang.

The foster-sister of profanity Is
slang, which is often heard from
young ladies until, like the reptiles Of
the olden fairy tale, their talk turns
your admiration into disgust. How
it lowers woman from that high NOR
al position which she should occupy,
to hear from her lips words and
phrases which have their origin in
the slums of society on the boards Of
low concert halls and theatres, words
that are idle and SO utterly useless.
What is pleasanter than to hear or
read sentences i'm which no superflu-
Gus words are used, thoughts express
ed i'm simple but beautiful language
A good deal of the current literature
of the day engenders the use Of
slang. for many of the stories ia the
popular .'weeklies'' contain long
strings of these words and phrases
which the readers become familiarized
with and finally use. To what eN-
tent the adjectives are used--or mis-
used might more properly have been
said. Everything Is perfectly hor-
rid" or ''just splendid, ''eXquisitely
beautiful" or ''dreadfully ugly"
lawful bad or lawful good" aud
so on indefinitely, destroying the
beauty and euphony Of the English
language, interlarding IL with sense
less words and vulgar phrases.
